Well, it had been a few years since I had fished Halibut Point at dawn (about 18). They close the park at night and you need to pay for parking, but you can't until they open... I was there at 4:30 and off the water at 6:30. So I took a chance and fished anyway. It did not take long to start banging some schoolies on a popper and had a good time, but that was all that showed up... Nothing very big and nothing worth pulling a camera out for. Best of all no ticket, but I would not take the chance again, at least for another decade or so...
Drove up the coast as far as Newburyport and took a few casts along the way with only a little micro striper action at one small beach. In the end, scored some good kudos with the wife and that alone made the trip worth it...
